Chwarszczynski Family in Chicago

Chwarszczynski Family in Chicago

Classification: Query
Four branches of the Chwarszczynski family, headed by Valentine (my great grandfather), Frank, Bartholomeus (Bart), and Theodore, resided in Chicago in the late 1880s/early 1900s. Other branches of this family settled in Southern Illinois (changed the surname to Chwascinski); Renfrew, Ontario, Canada; and, Norway. The family originally resided mainly in the West Prussian villages of Tuszkau and Turzonka, near the city of Lipusz, and the family church records are kept in Lipusz Parish. If you are researching this family, please contact me.

Hi, My name is Ewelina Chwarszczynska. I was just wondering if you know about some family connections. Because I am from Poland, Stargard Szczecinski exactly. In my country it is a very rare surname so for me it is strange that you have that surname. Do you have any family members in poland or some polish ancestors??

Hi Ewelina -
My ancestors were from various towns and villages surrounding the city of Lipusz in the part of Poland that was then known as West Prussia.
My great grandfather, Walenty Chwarszczynski, was born February 13, 1862 in Tuszkau and came to the U.S. in 1878. His mother, Marianna Augustina Chwarszczynska, was born March 27, 1834 in Kruszewo. She was not married when Walenty was born, and we do not know who his father was. Augustina (the name she went by) was the daughter of Gottlieb Chwarszczynski (born 1795) and Catharina Reschke. Augustina eventually married August Litterski. They had a daughter, Valentine Litterski, who married Martin Modrzejewski. August Litterski died in 1885, and Augustina then married a Mr. Wolski (I don't know his first name).
Among Gottlieb's siblings was a brother, Christoph. I know that three of Christoph's children came to the U.S.; two settled in Chicago, Illinois and the third settled in southern Illinois. They arrived in the U.S. in the late 1860s and early 1870s.
Do any of my ancestor's names tie in with your family research? I have been in contact with two Chwarszczynski family members, who were descended from Christoph. One, Uve Grau, lives in Denmark; the other, Kazimierz "Kazik" Chwarszczynski, lives in Poland. Unfortunately, I was not able to continue corresponding with Kazik because he did not speak English and I do not speak Polish.

Hello Uve,

We corresponded back in 2006, and I helped provide some information on your family. Did you ever contact the Roman Catholic Parish in Lipusz, Poland to ask for information on the marriage of Johann Chwarszczynski and Marcianna Knopik? If you ask, I believe they should be able to tell you who Johann's parents were. If you ever learn this information, I would appreciate if you would share it with me. For further correspondence, my email address is rususmar@yahoo.com

Thank you.
